Mastt and InEight stand out as two leading technology solutions in the construction industry, but could not be more different solutions.
This comparison explores:
1. What is InEight?
2. Why Mastt?
3. Mastt Use Cases & Product
4. InEight Use Cases & Product
InEight started in 1989 with an estimating software, following by documents, scheduling and more construction specific features over the years. Today, InEight is owned by Kiewit a Fortune 500 privately held American construction company based in Omaha, Nebraska. Being 100% owned by an extremely large General Contractor, InEight has a heavy focus and influence on providing construction specific solution for complex projects.
For these reasons, InEight has a great platform but very feature heavy, requiring many months of implementation effort and training to get into service on complex construction projects. So if you are a construction company, General Contractor, or involved heavily in the onsite construction of a project (horizontal or vertical projects), InEight can provide great solutions that increase efficiency.
In contrast, Mastt was co-founded by Doug Vincent in 2019, a former Project & Program Management consultant, and targets the key requirements of Project Management and Program Management from the client or Project Owner's perspective.
Owner's care less about estimating, documents and site diarys and more abour the full portfolio view. As such, managing and reporting on projects and portfolios across their entire lifecycle informs Mastt's approach, emphasizing a fast and easy to use systems that you can get started on today. So if your role is geared towards reporting to project owners or managing many projects as a program, Mastt is right for you.
